摘要
The generalized cross correlation approach with phase transform weighting (GCC-PHAT) is a popular time delay estimation (TDE) algorithm. To enhance the robustness of the GCC-PHAT against noise, an improved TDE algorithm based on adaptive frequency selection is proposed. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of each frequency is calculated from the covariance matrix estimated from the short segments (32ms) of speech, and then the frequencies with high SNR are adaptively selected to estimate the time delay. Simulation results show that the proposed method is more robust against noise compared to the traditional GCC-PHAT method under both medium (reverberation time T60=0.3 s) and high reverberation (T60=0.6 s) conditions.
